Hello! My name is Gianna Prata and I am from North Smithfield, Rhode Island. I am currently majoring in Biology & Secondary Education with a General Science Certification and a Middle Level Endorsement. During my time at URI I have spent time as a member of two organizations; the Student Senate and the New Student Orientation Program. I am currently the Student Program Coordinator for the Orientation Program. Outside of URI I am a lover of literature, a musical theater fan, and am addicted to television shows such as "The Office", "Friends", and "The Big Bang Theory". .
Unit Plan: "Evolution, The Facts" Students may wonder, “Where did we come from?” This unit outlines evolution, the change in characteristics of a population over time. This is shown through mechanisms that drive evolution in individual populations. Evolution can be seen throughout diverse populations. Throughout history scientists have found concrete evidence that supports evolution. While this unit does not get into the specifics of human evolution, it does address the topic, how it works and the evidence that proves it true. These topics are addressed through various activities including structured note taking sessions, group discussions, class presentations, and lab activities.
